White House Appeals to High Court Following Failed Attempt to Halt Snap Payment Order

This past Friday, just moments following a national appellate court determined that the administration must pay for nutritional assistance disbursements, the White House sought intervention from the nation's highest court in a further attempt to prevent the ruling.

Not long after, the top US court handed down an emergency order immediately suspending entire food stamp payments, which close to 42 million people depend on to buy groceries.

“Government lawyers continue working, day and night, to protect and further our priorities,” a senior official stated on online platforms just after 9:30pm ET.

Administration officials had requested the appellate court to block a court ruling mandating they provide the upcoming complete Snap assistance amid a government funding lapse, and faced refusal hours later.
